Political Funding: Queen´s Park Debates

Political party funding has suddenly become a hot topic in Ontario Legislative Assembly debates. Under pressure from the opposition, Premier Kathleen Wynne promised to bring about quick reform in the matter. But that´s not enough for Patrick Brown. The Progressive Conservative leader is calling for a public enquiry into the granting of government contracts to businesses that have allegedly made contributions to the Liberal election fund.
Another topic making the headlines in Ottawa since the beginning of 2016 is the Translation Bureau. This federal body offers translation, revision and interpretation services to the Parliament, to courts and to federal ministries and agencies. In the last few years, several strategic changes have been made to the agency, which has many worried about its future.
